JPMorgan and Barclays have settled an antitrust litigation over allegations they took part in a price-fixing scheme of Mexican Governement bonds that were issued the Mexican government through the Bank of Mexico, also know as Banxico. The settlement notice lists three major counts:
Thee result, according to the plaintiffs, is that class members ended up paying more for newly issued MGBs than they otherwise would have. They further allege the defendants pulled-off their scheme through various secret back-channels including through interbank chatrooms, telephone calls, and in-person meetings.
Many who read the financial news, and indeed, everyone who
participated in early antitrust cases such as the GSE Bonds, LIBOR, and FX
litigations, among others, are familiar with these kinds of allegations by now.
They are also familiar with the exceedingly complicated nature of antitrust litigation.
In this settlement, over 1,100 unique ISINs qualify-- and the class period spans 11
years.
The team at Chicago Clearing has filed claims in every
single financial antitrust litigation settlement. For example we filed tens of thousands of
claims in the recent GSE Bonds litigation, and that case had over 60,000 eligible
bonds. We will not be daunted by the mere 1,100 identifiers in this case, nor
will we be troubled by retrieving old trade data from any system, format, or trading
platform.

ISINs, some of which may have been purchased in 2006, leaves you cold, then
